Dear Random Internet User who has unwittingly stumbled on this page after typing something to do with “internet hate machine”…
This is not the page you are looking for. This is a random bloggy blog written by a bored 20 year-old. It is full of in-jokes, irrelevant stories and episodes that only people who know me will really care about. By all means stick around, but you’ll most likely be confused.
Anywho! Now that I’ve put in a small disclaimer, carry on. Here was the blog that really belonged here. Except I’ve cut out most of the fem-rant because it’s been so long since I posted it and also, being mad at the time, it didn’t make a terrible about of sense.
p.s. uninvited automated spam thingies, advertising in the comments while pretending to be a real person doesn’t work. Also… stop advertising weight loss things! It’s like you guys are trying to tell me something… *cries hysterically*

I should not be allowed on the internet.
I have this huge problem with everything on it. Twitter can go and fuck off, seriously, I don’t care about people making cups of tea (um, no offense if you use it, it ain’t personal). Facebook is student-y (the worst kind of anything) and full of Ya’s posting pictures of their 80-’s-night escapades from the previous evening. Youtube has the distinction of having so much more trolling and junk that it certainly outnumbers the actual valid opinions and/or nice words concerning the videos themselves. Every website you go to download things pretends to be free, then asks how you’re paying after it asks for your email address. Junk mail is sent by the ton to your email account, and pop-ups and lame adverts dot around all over the screen. To top it all, cynical, grumpy people like me have to complain about it all the time while dodging viruses and deleting emails from the mysterious “John”, who keeps insisting on trying to sell you viagra.
The Mysterious "John"..?
Despite this lameness however, there’s also countless awesome stuff you can do of course – one of my favourites include checking out the blogs or articles of my sisters or friends, or interesting feminist opinions from feministing.com or thefword.org.uk. But it is the freedom of speech and sharing of views that is also a problem: because morons who know nothing about a subject can write any old shit about it and post it on the ol’ virtual noticeboard.

And here ends the rant. Wasn’t that exciting, children? More exciting than chomping your way through that beef jerky with grandma’s dentures, that’s for sure. Let us congratulate “Anglobitch” for providing clear evidence of moronic sweeping generalisations, not bothering to research and general uninformed blogs of douchebaggery.
And as I said before, let us continue smooshing the patriarchy.
Deedee, you’ve coined a new phrase for me and for this I thank you.: “Smoosh the Patriarchy!”
There are, and have been in the past, problems with the feminist movement, as with any movement attempting to unite so many people under a set of ideas.* However, these are blatantly not being addressed by these “Failures of Feminism” writers (who want to protect the Manzhoodz), and are instead addressed within the contemporary feminist movement, which is constantly evolving and becoming more inclusive.
*For example, referring to lesbians as a Lavender menace to the movement in 1969.
